Throughout the last year I’ve been facilitating a relational practice called Circling. It is a foundational practice in a kind of group work often referred to as “Authentic Relating.” Circling has been one of the most potent catalysts of growth and transformation in my life and I was certified to facilitate this practice in 2019. It is one of my favorite experiences to offer to others. 

I am currently facilitating a group which runs from November 9th, 2021 - February 8th, 2022. This offering explores the practice of Circling alongside a curriculum based on the book Getting Real by Susan Campbell. This is an intimate exploration into the truth of who we are and into the nuanced dynamics of human relationships. While the current offering is full, I will continue to offer this experience a couple times per year, so please fill out the form below if you are interested in a future iteration. Here are some more details:

What:

A small group of 6 participants will meet weekly over the course of 3 1/2 months to practice Circling (also sometimes called “inter-subjective meditation”) and engage experientially with the book Getting Real by Susan Campbell. We will read one chapter of the book each week and explore the content during our weekly meetings. Each week there will also be written shares and buddy meetups in service of practicing the skills we are learning. Check out this page from Authentic Revolution to learn a bit more about Circling.

When:

We will meet every Tuesday evening from November 9th through February 8th (taking off the week of Christmas). This totals 13 meetings. Each meeting is 2 hours and 15 minutes in length, and depending on the groups needs, our start time will be between 5 - 6pm Mountain Time. In addition to the meetings, I estimate a weekly time commitment of around 60-75 minutes per week (including the reading, writing, and buddy meetups.) 

Where:

We will meet virtually on the Zoom video conferencing platform. 

Why:

To expand and grow personally while developing our relational skills. To create deep and authentic connections with others. To learn more about ourselves, uncover personal blindspots, and cultivate radical openness to the full spectrum of our humanity.

How:

The invitation for all of us is to continually show up with curiosity and a willingness to learn, to be vulnerable, and to engage whole heartedly. 

Cost:

$390

Monthly payments are an option if paying in full is inaccessible. I also have limited scholarship money available so please contact me if you’re in need of financial assistance. Participants are responsible for getting their own copy of Getting Real.

While the current offering is full, please submit your contact info below if you are interested in future iterations of this group.

A must for anyone that wants to expand their capacity for relating to others in a deeply resonating way. Knowing and doing are not always one in the same, and Circling has provided me the space to practice being with others in ways that are becoming powerful tools for my everyday interactions.

Through this group experience I found the authenticity in my life increasing, not only during these weekly sessions, but more importantly throughout all the relationships in my life. As a result, I’m developing a more candid relationship with my supervisor that is allowing space for more creative productivity, I’m connecting with my closest friends in a rich yet playful way, and with my partner, we’re diving deeper into the things that really matter to us. I’m very grateful to Michael for sharing this practice and opportunity.
